bodog’s US facing brand, Bovada has raised the tournament guarantees on many of its most popular tournaments. Over $100k a week in increased guarantees has been applied to signature tournaments with buyins ranging from $5.50 to $215.
Very good news for us.

I have to say that their site is getting better & better every corner I look around.

The new hand re-player, the downloadable tournaments &/or cash games, & the option to play 2 ZONE cash tables @ a time in each limit are great.

I play everything there. Cash tables (mostly ZONE), tournaments, sit-n-gos & blackjack.

I jus wish they had a few more players that played ZONE. That way I could play 2 of every limit. As of now, I play 2 25NL, 2 5NL & sometimes 50NL (when there's enough players to get it started) @ a time. I love the fast paced action when playing 4+ ZONE tables.

I hope their "updates/improvements" keep on going.

dre- there was a 100k MLK increase yesterday only but they have increased the weekly guaranteed as well which is permanent. From my own experience these tourneys start with less then half what is needed to go beyond the guaranteed and then go 20-30% beyond. So you don't get an actual overlay but a good player gets an effective one when people buyin in 130 min later at 1/3 the average stack and just over10x BB. Traffic seems to be increasing here quite a bit, overall.

Description below;
Now, some five months after their last adjustment, Bovada has amped up their tournaments to the tune of over $100,000 in overall added weekly guarantees. We denote and discuss the lion's share of the changes below (all times are EST).

One note of potential interest - Bovada's Sunday $100,000 guaranteed tournament, which has averaged 1,096 players over the past six weeks for an average pool of over $164,000 during that time, remains unchanged in guaranteed amount for now. Over the past six months, this particular tournament has grown steadily, and expect any changes to this tournament to be just as steady.
Other changes made to the weekely schedule (all live today or this weekend) are:


Mon-Fri at 14:00 - $2,000 GTD $33 increased to $3,000
Mon-Fri at 16:00 - $2,000 GTD $22 increased to $3,000
Mon-Sat at 11:00 - $2,000 GTD $13 increased to $3,000
Sat/Sun at 13:00 - $1,500 GTD $7.70 Turbo increased to $2,000
Saturday at 14:30 - $3,000 GTD $22 increased to $4,000
Saturday at 15:15 - $3,000 GTD $55 increased to $4,000
Saturday at 16:15 - $2,000 GTD $5.50 increased to a $3,000Sunday at 11:00 - $2,000 GTD $13 increased to $4,000

They need a 50k midweek guarantee or on a friday.Also the 100k should be 150k or be cheaper.

It has consistently been over 150k for months...

Both of those comments I have to agree with. I hope they make it a $200k GTD. In a couple of months, there will be 1500+ in that tourney.

Also, it has been brought to my attention that I made a mistake or typo in my 1st post ITT. As of now, you can't play more than 4 cash tables @ the same time. I play 4 cash tables & w/e tournaments @ the same time. So, when that "only 4 cash tables at once" rule changes, that sentence will make more sense! HaHa.

That can be a good thing though. It keeps a lot of the best micro table grinders away from bovada.

I can see where you're coming from on that but I can play @ least 14 tables @ a time. Never tried more than that because they don't fit well on my screen. So, I would absolutely love if/when they raise the limit.

They could even make it a 250K Guarantee w/ all the new players coming there.
